D is the correct answer because you would subtracts what he descended from where he started in order to find out how many feet he descended in all.

A would be the correct answer because he is up in elevation so that makes the 1200 positive and he goes down 20.4 which is negative and is goes that far down!!

It used to take Andie 45 seconds to swim 50 meters. Now she swims the same distance in 35 seconds. What is the percent increase
Trava [24]

Answer: 28.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

First find out what her speed is:

Speed = Distance / Time

= 50 / 45

= 1.11 meters/second

Now her speed is:

= 50 / 35

= 1.43 meters/ second

The percentage increase in her speed is:

= (New speed - Old speed) / Old speed

= (1.43 - 1.11) / 1.11

= 0.288

= 28.8%
